We took the morning 4-hour bike tour with Ben and it was the perfect introduction to Kyoto. Ben is very knowledgeable about the city, language, culture and history. He stopped frequently to show or explain things we might not have learned otherwise. The tour was thorough, organized, comfortable and safe as well, because Ben explained the rules and kept us in line in a congenial way. Thoroughly enjoyable and we highly recommend!
